Welcome to the ATLAS Analysis Software Tutorial pages.
This area is intended to the hold material for the ATLAS analysis software tutorial held multiple times throughout the year.
This tutorial is aimed at (new and old) members of the ATLAS collaboration interested in learning the basics of ATLAS software and the latest physics analysis tools. There are several introductory lectures aimed at introducing the topics.
Tutorial Week
Follow a week-long analysis software tutorial with lectures and hands-on exercises. The new tutorial format (as of November 2022) is designed to be done in small groups and to follow an example ATLAS analysis from beginning to end. The introductory material and hands-on exercises are kept available online, so if you cannot attend a tutorial week, you can still work through the material.
While the lectures for the new in-person format are not specifically recorded for online viewing, you can still access the recorded videos from the previous online and hybrid tutorials linked below.
